At the time of the song’s release, DMX was coming off of two number one albums, It’s Dark And Hell Is Hot and Flesh Of My Blood, Blood Of My Blood.

The single art for “What These Bitches Want” features a picture of DMX with the lines, “The Biggest in Rap meets The Biggest in R&B.”

In the song, DMX raps about the various women in his life—the second verse is almost entirely dedicated to listing the names of women he has been involved with, matched with those classic DMX “what” shouts in the background.
